[3dem] Oil-less compressor for cryoTEM

[Tim Gruene]

Dear Joshua,

our CM200, which has been in operation for 30 years now, was 
connected to a "Dental compressor 350/8/50W" by ELMAG
(https://www.elmag.eu/en/dental-compressor-350-8-50w-horizontal-21111),
when it was still installed at the Physics Department. Now we moved it
to the Chemistry department, and the CM200 and the JEM2100Plus now
share a Dental compressor by AGRE ( Kolbenkompr-ölfrei CLR
 , 15/30 S T) www.agre.at, article number
4116092268, but they only seem to have a German site).

I replace the filter every two years, and the compressor has been
running 24/7 for about three years now, no complaints.

Both compressors are oil-free.

Best wishes,
Tim
